auction inquiry

I'm contacting you on behalf of the Kodiak Arts Council. Every year
we have an Arts and Adventure Auction so we can continue to bring
entertainment to our island home. This year it was decided each board
member contact a celebrity for a donation. Our auction will be held
March 31st.
Due to your Kodiak popularity and following, including my 14 year old
son, I thought I would contact you. I realize you must get many
simular requests but do hope you will consider mine. I feel you fit
both catagories, art and adventure!
I also love your program. It's great how you apply the math, physics
and history into the program.
Again I hope you will consider my request.
A fan,

Sure, I didn't realise you had heard of me over there. I'll need an
air ticket of course. Of course, as you say, I do get many requests
to speak about oranges, do you have californian oranges there? I
don't like ones with pips although you can study the physics of
projectile motion with them so they are not completely redundant.

I'm curious, do they use cars in Alaska or is the only transport
still by Husky sled. I don't mind sleds of course but I am alergic to
dogs unfortunately. If Huskies eat oranges then we could feed the
ones with pips to them.

Hey I'm looking to buy a digital camera and as you work in Kodiak you
could give me some pointers on good ones to look out for. I'm looking
for colour, not black and white, and preferably orange because orange
is my favourite colour. Oppps, I mean "c.o.l.o.r" (so you can
understand me).

I don't know about you selling people (and celebrities like myself in
particular) at auction. We never had slavery in my country so I don't
know the ins and outs. Do they buy me outright or only for a time? Do
they feed me? I'm very particular about the fruit I eat.

Anyway, many thanks for the invitation, don't forget the air ticket
because walking that far (or taking a sled) is quite uncomfortable.

You guys lighten up a little. What I think he is asking is if any of
us have anything from the show to donate to their orginization that
they can auction off to help support the arts and entertainment
community in their neighborhood. I am not sure if they want something
actually seen on the show. They may be looking for just anything that
any of the people who have appeared on "JYWars" would be wanting to
donate for the auction, possibly things like one of the sculptures
that the "Art Attack" team makes or a pumpkin musket or something of
that nature. Autographed pics or the like is what usually gets
donated for this type auction. For what it would cost to ship
anything of size to them, they would be better off for us to just
send a check. I don't concider myself a celeb, but just an ordinary
guy with a talent for tinkering and launching pumpkins. I would
imagine that they could use all the art and entertainment that they
can get, being located in Alaska.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Kodiak Island. I think that this
is a very sound request and I hope RDF will consider it carefully.
While some people have very strange concepts of what Alaska is like I
think it is one of the best places I have ever been. When we were on
Kodiak we had dinner at a place called the End of The Road (or that
is where the told us to find it) and it was one of the most enjoyable
meals of my life. We met a couple from Israel, gave them a ride to
the restaurant, and had dinner. In contrast to the first posting I
know that technology abounds in Alaska. I remember watching the OJ
chase live although we were not exactly in a booming city.

Anyway, you might try to contact andy.bell@rdfmedia.com to see if he
would be willing to help you. Let me know if yon need any help.
